EPIP-6 revision 60 enacted the following changes:

• Added PARs 6 and 7 to the Site Emergency Director turnover data sheet.

• Edited operational responsibilities of the positions of Operations Manager, Operations Communicato r and Main Control Room Communicator.

• Deleted operational responsibility bullets from two procedure checklists for initial support center activation.

• Added responsibilities to the NRG Coordinator checklist to ensure NRG is notified of declarations and upgrades.

These listed changes were evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(q)(3) and 10 CFR 72.44(f). TVA determined that the changes did not reduce the effectiveness of the WBN REP.

The WBN REP, as revised, continues to meet the requirements in Appendix E to 10 CFR 50 and the planning standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b).

There are no new regulatory commitments in this letter. Please direct all questions concerning this matter to Michael White, Emergency Preparedness Manager, at mrwhite@tva.gov.
